Small charities hold communities together, and this Small Charity Week, you can help us reach even more families.

From 22–29 June, every donation made to Wood Street Mission through BigGive.org will be doubled while match funds last.

Your support goes twice as far, helping children access essentials, dignity and hope.

For people experiencing homelessness, having something clean to wear, a warm coat or a decent pair of shoes can help with comfort, confidence and just getting through the day.

At The Wellspring, we try to make sure people have access to those basics, but we rely on donations to keep that going.

Right now, we’re particularly in need of things like boxers, socks, men’s trainers, joggers, t-shirts, shorts, hoodies, waterproof coats and sleeping bags.

With it being , it’s a good time to have a quick sort through your wardrobe and see if there’s anything you could pass on.

Donations can be dropped off at The Wellspring, Harvey Street, Stockport, SK1 1YD.

Thank you so much 💜💚

Like a good friend who really hears and gets you, God is always ready to listen. Nothing is too small or too trivial to share with God. We may not feel it, but even in the unimaginably dark places, God is with us.

This , we have prayers for whatever your feeling at our Prayer Hub. Whether you're feeling anxious, or tired, angry, or grateful, find something for you at methodist.org.uk/faith/exploring-faith/help-with-prayer/

Take a moment to share whatever is on your heart and on your mind with God today, and be open to how God may respond.

Join us in a prayer for all those sitting exams and deadlines, shared by Genesis Padgett, Methodist Youth President 🙏

Father God,
We pray today for those who are taking their SAT's, GCSE's, A-Levels, University Exams or any other exams that may be causing stress or pressure.

Lord we ask you to help them remember what they have learned and to do the best they can, with the understanding that they are perfect in your eyes.

Lord we pray too for teachers, parents, carers, and friends - that they can be full of love and care, to support our young people, and we pray that they too can have calm minds when they feel overwhelmed.

And for those who are anxious, or fearful for their future, we pray bring peace and love. May every young person know that one exam never defines their future, or their potential.

Father God give everyone the knowledge that you go with us always.
Amen.

Pray with us today.

We pray for people around the world

Oh Bethlehem, house of bread, under your skies the angels sang their song and in your humble surroundings the Creator’s life on earth began.

Oh Bethlehem’s child, Prince of Peace, fill the world, we pray, with a hunger for justice that deep and lasting peace may come to the land of your birth.

Oh Jerusalem, city of God, Outside these walls your divine hands were pierced, eternity held its breath as you were laid to rest in a borrowed tomb.

Oh Jerusalem, witness to your Resurrection,

we pray that new life may triumph over destruction, fear, violence, oppression and death, and radiate from these streets to the whole world.

In the name of the incarnate, crucified and risen God, Amen.

David Hardman, Methodist Liaison Officer, Jerusalem

WHY PRAYER MATTERS EVEN MORE AFTER THE ELECTIONS

The recent elections across the UK have revealed a dramatic shift in the political landscape. Communities have spoken loudly, many people voted for change, and the results have left councils and parties navigating uncertainty, division, and new challenges.
